Oak Lawn Mold Removal

24 HOUR SERVICE - CALL US AT 1-800-222-6815

Do you have Mold? Is it toxic mold? Do you have water damage from a flooded basement which is causing moisture to buildup in your home or business? The moisture associated with water intrusions will promote the growth of toxic mold such as Stachybotrys, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium.

The longer an indoor contaminant is allowed to remain intact, the greater its potential impact on human health and on the structural integrity of the facility. Mold can grow on most common building materials if they remain wet for 24 to 48 hours. Special care must be taken during the mold removal and restoration process or serious health hazards can develop.

Our mold remediation technicians are fully trained and are proficient with the latest equipment, materials and techniques. We specialize in remediation of mold, bacteria, water and sewage damage cleanup in your facility.

You can reach us at 1-800 222-6815 if you are having any water, sewage, smoke damage, or mold problems!

Mold Remediation: Contract Professionals or Not

Every person has probably become familiar with the term mold before and has seen it as well. Mold seems to grow in places you’d never expect, but once water is given the chance to sit long enough the mold can grow.

When you have to take part in mold remediation you are most likely going to be told that you need to go ahead and hire a professional. Not all cases of remediation require the hiring of a professional remove the mold; people can get equipped properly themselves and do it on their own as well. Usually you are advised not to contact a mold remediation contractor if the mold hasn’t yet exceeded an area of 3ft. by 3ft., but if it has, then you may want to get in touch with a mold remediation contractor to be on the safe side of things.

Most people think that by using bleach they can do mold remediation; well, this is not true. Yes, bleach is used to kill mold, but it doesn’t contain a biocide chemical that will actually kill off the mold entirely. Bleach will just hinder the expansion of mold for some time.

Here are three useful steps for mold remediation:

Determine where the source of water is coming from and stop it.

Kill the mold with the use of biocide.

Place the mold inside a sealed container.

Does this mean that mold remediation is actually worth the time to take care of? Yes, when you’ve been affected by mold it is a good idea to take part in mold remediation, even if you are not hiring someone to do it for you. Once again, if it is a larger area that the mold has reached then you will want to hire a licensed professional.

If you feel you can handle taking on this procedure on your own and have all the necessary protective gear and information about it, then you may want to attempt it, but always keep a licensed professional’s number on hand just in case you feel that you are no longer capable of handling things on your own.

Everyone knows that mold can be a bit dangerous, but it is not toxic. Even though it isn’t toxic you must be careful when you take part in mold remediation on your own. Wear protective gloves, wear a protective mask, and wear just about any protective gear imaginable. You do not want mold touching your skin or being inhaled as this could cause lung problems in the near future.

Just remember not to make mold remediation a scary process. It doesn’t have to be scary; it is just a different kind of cleaning that takes some good elbow grease and energy. If you don’t feel you have the time or energy to complete the job, hire someone who does. There are many professional contractors available, just do your research on them and ask for references of previous work to ensure its worth your money, or you could get caught into a scam, which no one likes.
